if youre registry keeps getting corrupt the problem is not the size, some 3rd party program thats not compatible with win2k is causing the problem. The system hive stores settings for HKLM and for services, its very likely some 3rd party service borked things up.

Gosh! Who's to say what's better for the original poster's circumstances and requirements? mst3kpimp didn't ask about the shortcomings of one OS compared to another. To help better answer his/her question, you should read around the 9x forums a bit - Day-to-day running Win 9x/ME with more than 1 GiB RAM. I used to work for Microsoft supporting windows 95/98/XP. I am very knowledgable about these OS - i supported them. Windows 9x has many memory problems that are not publicly understood, such as the system resources limitation. When i worked for M$ i would get calls all the time from people that had a 10 year old computer trying to run the latest OS. 90% of these people could afford a new pc, they were just too cheap. After years troubleshooting these OS i would never touch them. XP is soooooo much better.

Windows 98 was never tested or designed for more than 512mb of ram. There are patches and "workarounds" for this, but youd be better of upgrading to a newer OS that was designed for this. Windows 95 and later have a fatal design flaw with how memory is used that doesnt exist in windows xp or later. You really need to upgrade

i dont get the point of the question. yes, you can spend a week writing a vbscript to do this, then edit a bunch of stuff, but whats the poitn? Dont you have more important things to do with your life?

What a nice guy this is. He turns in friends from his facebook page to the police. Who is he going to betray next? Lamo claimed both men are working for WikiLeaks. Also, both men are Facebook friends with Lamo and Manning, and at least one continues to post Facebook messages on Lamo's wall, the former hacker said. http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/08/01/afghanistan.wikileaks.suspect/?hpt=T1 This isnt the first time adrian has done this
